Selecting a medical provider

Injured workers must select a BWC-certified medical provider to treat a work-related injury.

If the initial doctor treating the injured worker is a BWC-certified medical provider, the worker can keep visiting that doctor. Or, the injured worker can select another BWC-certified medical provider.

Important: Except in an emergency or for the initial visit, injured workers are responsible for paying their medical bills if they have a non-BWC certified medical provider treat them.
